title: [On parenteral infusion therapy adapted to the requirements of the neonatal period (author's transl)].
abstract: Controversial data in literature and the results of our own investigations of the effects of varying liquid supply in premature and newborn infants have caused the setting up of an infusion pattern adapted to requirements for the neonatal period. The guidelines as proposed largely take into account varying water and energy catabolism of premature and newborn infants. As a matter of principle electrolyte substitution is not related to body weight but to the particular infusion quantity administered. It is of vital importance that no infusion pattern can do without a corresponding monitoring. Observation of the most essential parameters in the sera and urines of 65 solely parenterally infused premature and newborn infants has shown that very rarely, only on special occasions, minor adjustments had to be made.
